Coolant

Post by necropentance »

I plan on flushing my system this weekend and was wondering if I should stick with dex-cool or if peak (green) safe for all makes and color coolant would be ok, are there any problems when switching coolant from dex-cool?

The damage to your gaskets is already well on it's way. Start planning now to fix them, coolant flush at the same time is very convenient.

You want the 'mixes with any' Dex-COMPATIBLE. Not Dex. If you want green, you have to flush VERY well.
